Digital Monitoring for School Governors

Securus gives school Governors peace of mind that the monitoring solution provides full compliance with the latest DfE guidance in Keeping Children Safe in Education, helping Governors fulfil their responsibility to approve and review the effectiveness of digital safety policies and practice.

School Governors have a crucial role in ensuring online safety within their schools. This includes supporting the implementation of appropriate filtering and monitoring systems to align the school with statutory responsibilities and best practices.

School Governor

7 Key Steps for School Governors to follow:

Stay informed on digital safeguarding standards – Keep up to date with KCSiE, Prevent duty, Filtering & Monitoring Standards, Working Together to Safeguard Children, and the Online Safety Act; use available resources and checklists.

Oversee and challenge online safety policy and practice – Ensure monitoring solutions and Acceptable Use Policies are reviewed at least annually and reflect current risks and terminology.

Maintain effective monitoring systems – Confirm appropriate systems are in place, regularly reviewed, and capable of safeguarding against risky online content and contact.

Review regular online safety reports – Receive incident, alert, and trend reports from senior leaders/DSLs to guide policy decisions and responses.

Embed online safety in the curriculum – Ensure students learn safe online behaviours through age-appropriate, inclusive, and accessible teaching methods, with tailored approaches for SEND students.

Provide comprehensive staff training – Deliver appropriate safeguarding and Prevent training for all staff, with advanced training for DSLs and safeguarding teams to identify risks and manage cases effectively.
